My only criticism is that I wish they called this entire series Dark Trinity as the title of the issue is named. The name would have added some gravitas to the series and separate it from the less than stellar performances of Lobdells earlier works with Red Hood. This series has a lot of potential to be a great, fun contrast to the actual Trinity series coming this month. Both could be really enjoyable but have different tones. Despite the misbranding of this series, Im very much looking forward to the next issue and the development of Bizarro. Read Full Review

Where the series leads from herewe're not quite sure. It'll definitely cause some problems for Jason and Artemis – given that they seem to be a new team. But will this bizzare third member cause a little too much mayhem for the duo to work with? Overall,Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 is a thrilling read. And it proves once more that Jason Todd is undoubtedly deserving of his own title series. He continues to be one of the most captivatingly tragic characters in comic books. If you're a fan of the Bat-Family,Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 is the one for you. Read Full Review

While Red Hood and the Outlaws hasn't gotten the team together it's been an entertaining ride so far. Hopefully the book maintains its consistency when Bizarro debuts next issue. Read Full Review

While the dialogue can occasionally get a little bit wordy " and let's face it, Jason and Artemis mend fences a little conveniently " Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 still brings some fun popcorn action. Read Full Review

Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 is an exciting, if a tad clich, extended fight scene that showcases some of the best sequential art on the market today. Read Full Review

Opening with flashbacks to Artemis' past, the comic does a solid job introducing her for those unfamiliar with the character. I'll be curious to see whether her quest for the weapon of the gods continues, or if her new allegiances provide other battles to be won. The pairing of Artemis and Red Hood, two mid-level characters with envy of those who do exactly what they do, only better, works well. As for the third member of the team, it looks like DC has decided to go with the imperfect clone origin of Bizarro rather than a hero from a parallel dimension. But we'll have to wait at least a month before finding out any more details, or what Black Mask wants with him. Worth a look. Read Full Review

While this issue may be the last bit of setup before the series really starts going, I still enjoyed it.  This book is just fun and if you can put your ideas that comics have to change the world behind you, I think you can enjoy it as much as me.   Read Full Review

It doesnt hurt that Dexter Soys artwork and Veronica Gandinis colors bring the ruckus. The fight scenes are perfectly choreographed, exciting and clear. The facial work on everyone, even the background characters, is on point with Jasons increasingly incredulous expressions when dealing with Artemis worth the price of admission alone.

If you want an action-packed story with a strong developing team dynamic, then I highly recommend picking up Red Hood and the Outlaws #2. It meets just about all of your standard superhero team-up book expectations, but still manages to stand out from the crowd with great scripting and stellar art. Read Full Review

I do look forward to seeing how Bizzaro is characterized, once he joins our heroes. Red Hood and Artemis have proven to be equal parts edgy and fun. Where Bizzaro fits in that frame will be interesting to see, but his words about his version of Bizzaro have me looking forward to the completion of the Dark Trinity. Read Full Review

This is the sweet spot for Jason Todd. He gets to do awesome Red Hood stuff, he makes us laugh, he gets the mess knocked out of him, and he still manages to finish with a smirk. As a writer for an ongoing series, Lobdell's most important job is to make us want to read the next one, and he does that job well here. His cohorts in the art department remain valuable assets, just as Red Hood and the Outlaws remains pleasantly distinct from everything else DC is publishing. Read Full Review

Its a solid series but the overall story is on shaky ground already. This isnt a good thing since its only the second issue. In the previous issue Black Mask was lamenting about Gotham and how he had big plans for the city. Now its starting to feel like the plans are going to fall short. Read Full Review

An average issue of what has the potential to be an above average series. There is still a lot of potential here for Lobdell and Soy to tap into. Feel free to skip this fight-scene heavy issue, but return for issue #3 when the third outlaw's introduction will be extended and certainly further shake up the dynamic between these characters.

The team is slowly getting together, Artemis is introduced well, and most importantly you'll feel like these characters are going to be fun together. Read Full Review

Despite the limited plot the dynamic of this book has already changed. Artemishas quickly made an impression as a character worth your time, and hopefully the rest of the Outlaws will be do the same. Read Full Review

Two issues in and I'm enjoying it. Although I miss the dynamic between Jason and Roy, things are shaping up to be pretty interesting already. Oh, and Artemis isn't dressed like a stripper like a previous member of the outlaws whose name rhymes with Bar-Tire...

This issue introduced me to Artemis. I have to say I laughed out loud at every smartassbremark she threw at jason. Oh and she delivered when it came to battle. Fantastic art

The artwork and colours are stunning and capture the action and suspense very well. The dialogue is well written and occasionally funny, and the plot is okay. Overall, I'm enjoying the start of this series quite a bit: although at this point the plot is still a little bit simplistic. Still, I'm certainly interested to see where it goes, and how this future third member will be characterised and add to the dynamics of the two characters. For now, Artemis has potential - but it is probably too early to tell.

Didn't like it as much as the previous issues, but the art is great and the character moments strong, I just wish a little more plot had happened.

3 issues in, this book is what it is: a character fan service book full with awkward narration and quips that aren't quite as funny as the writer thinks they are. There's very little in the way of a plot, conflict, and tension.
